ONE OF the most touching incidents in
the death of Gen. Logan is the profound
griei of his noble wife. Mrs. Logan is in
every respect one of the crandest women
in America. Although a recognized
leader in society, her sincere devotion to
her husband and children has been her
chief characteristic. Her familiarity with
American politics and political methods
rendered her a wise counselor, and it is be.
llevcd by those who knew her that she
was the generals most trusted adviser.
Certain il is that shr~was ever at his side.
During the last presidential campaign she
made the tour of the country with him,
and nothing that a loving wife could do to
add to his personal comfort and tighten
the burden of his political labors was left
undone. Mrs. Logan may have been am-
bilious. but her ambition wa born of love
Tor her husband. and wa therefore all the
more praiseworthy. There can be no
doubt that her grief is sincere and over
whelming, and the great hearted Ameri-
can people will extend to her their most
profound sympathy.

The periods of extremely low tempera-

not last through one entire day. and the

The Boston Cultivator calls attention to
the fact that. if left TO themselves, sheep
will retire ut night to the most elevated
part OF the field. This is II relic of tho
time when they were wild. and such pre-
caution WAS necessary that they might
guard against approaching danger from
wild animals. But the fact has its adj
vantagcs. The knobs that sheep select
for their sleeping places are generally
originally poor, but sheep will soon enrich
them. The gras, also is sweeter than ON
low land and sheep are less liable to dis
oase. -Exchnnge.

of this is. however. marsh land, though
the Lakes Saima, Lodogo, Enara. etc,

The surface Of the country is fiat, with u

and picturesque, with bold granite cliffs
standing clear out against the deep blue

Archipelago of Aland dot the surface of

dcnse forests Of pine, fir and birch, which
have Il strange and cnthrailing influence
on the imagination.
Notwithstanding their usually somber
aspect, there are innumerable pleasant
gladcs in the rcc,sses of these woods,
where the tall. white stemmed birch and
great powders, covered with lichens, crop
up from the grass and form a pleasant
picture; beside this, the lakes ave a
beauty solemn and romantic which
can scarcely be found elsewhere. Tie
landscape, too. dotted with numerous
windmills. and the church overs, built
apart from the places of worship, present
strange pictures. From these towers the

His Resignation Accepted.

Special 10 IN ClODe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. - Commits
siOner Sparks, of the general land office,
received letter from President Cleve-
land about noon to-day accepting his
resignation. Mr.. Sparks resignation
took effect to-day. and. although he was
at the office nearly all day, he did not
attend to current business. This was
done by Assistant Commissioner Stock
Slayer. who will act as commissioner
during the vacancy. Mr.. StOckslager,
ex-GOv. Click, of Kansas, and ex-Con-
gresham COble, of Indiana, are NEIL
toned as probable successors of Mr..
Sparks, bnt an appointment is not
looked for for some time yet. The ex-
commissioner was asked this afternoon
to furnish the press with copy of the
presidents letter, but declined to do SO.
The letter." he said, was an auto
graph letter from the president. and
was very kindly in tone. The
sentiments expressed were not
only kindly, but appreciative of my
services. l regard this letter as a
purely private communication to me,
and do not feel at liberty to give it to
the press. 1t is now a part of the rec
ordS of the White house, and if the
president wishes to give it to the news
papers he will do so. ] may add that |
wish that he would do it. | would like
to have it given the widest publicity,
but it does not accord with my sense of
personal and official courtesy to take
this upon myself. There is nothing in
the letter in the way of criticism, but,
as l said, it is kindly and courteous
throughout"
Later on it was ascertained that it
was the presidents desire not to have
the letter given to the public press to-
night and so Mr.. Sparks courteously
declined to furnish copy for publica-
ton. 1t will probably be given out at
the executive mansion tomorrow.

IsIIPEMING, Mich, Nov. 16.-Ore
shipments from the ports of the Mar
quette. MeEOminee. GOgebic and Yer
million iron ranges for the week ending
Nov. 9, show marked falling off, due
principally to the recent sharp advance
in lake freightS to Lake Erie ports.
During the week 124, 1G6 gross tons were
sent forward, and Of this amount Es-
canada shipped over 10000 tons. Mar
quette coming second on the list with
1851 tons. Shipments from the Yer
million range and from the Gogebic via
Ashland, are practically over for the
season. Up to Nov. 9, 4,24S,G2 gross
tors of ore have been shipped from Two
HarbOrS. Mimi, Ashland, Wis. and
Escanaba, Marquette and St. Ignace,
Mich, as against 3,55344,943 gross tons
shipped during the last season up to
Nov. s. 1886. The total of shipments of
Lake Superior ore for the present year
will fall short of 100000 tons, or TAX
ing into consideration the ore consumed
by local furnaces will slightly exceed
that amount.

Mrs Langtry'S company, and Mrs. Hen
~ +. DiXey, whose husband is travel
ing with the AdC.Iis Company, occupied
a box in Mrs. Langtry'S performance in
a Harlem theater. Frederick Gebhardt
and some more friends occupied an adj
Joining box. Two of the men made in
Sulting remarks concerning Mrs. Hill
lard and Mrs. DiXey, and annoyed them
by raising the curtain and ogling them
with open glasses. Mrs. billiard in
formed her husband after the play what
had occurred. He wrote Mr.. Gebhardt
inviting him to obtain from his friends
an apology. He received no reply, but
last night Mrs. Langtry pushed him off
when he demonstrated she told him he
could not act his part, and gave him
two weeks notice to quit her company.
Mr.. Gebhardt has sent the following to
Mr.. billiard in reply to the letter re-
ferred to in the Evening Sun:
Robert G. billiard. Dear Sir: In an
SWer to your letter permit me 10 say
that was the guest of the Baron Blanc,
not the host as you imagined. The

Mr.. Gebhardt denies utterly that any
thing improper occurred. and expresses
the belief that the whole story is gotten
up for advertising purposes.

Fire on a Steamer,

BosToN, Nov. 16.-Fire was discov-
cred early this morning in the after
hold of the steamer Venetian, loading
at this port for Liverpool, to sail to-day.
The fire is confined to the lower hold and
the general cargo is being removed,
while that portion of the vessel where
the fire started is being flooded with
water. The loss will be heavy, but can
not be ascertained at present. AS the
firemen were fighting the fire in the
hold the smoke became SO dense and
the heat SO great that large number
of firemen were overcome and rescued
with difficulty. AS many as twenty-five
of them had to be carried to the open
air, where alEwere resuscitated, and it
is not believed fatal results will enSue,
although number were incapacitated
for further work. The Venetian is the
same ship that arrived here Nov. 10
with fire in the forward hold. The cargo
was then thrown in the sea and the fire
eXtinguished with steam.

such thing is possible, be more stub
